We’d like to invoke a custom function when the aggregator imports iCal events.
\nThis function should do:<\/p>\n

– take an id from the iCal document (it’s our venue id from a third party system, where the locations are previously imported from)
\n– select post_id from wp_postmeta where meta_key like ‘_ourThirdPartyVenueIdThatWeImportedEarlierWithAllImporter’ and meta_value = 1234;
\n– set this post_id as the _EventVenueID for the event
\n– import the event with our custom value<\/p>\n

Is there a filter point to hook in this functionality?<\/p>\n

Or any other\/better way to get a relation between location and event, as there’s no location\/venue import (for good reason, i see)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1295654","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nCustom function on event import -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/custom-function-on-event-import\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Custom function on event import -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"We’d like to invoke a custom function when the aggregator imports iCal events.
